Problem - the partition is misaligned by 512 bytes

Code: [Select]

ls /media

Code: [Select]

sudo blkid /dev/sdc1

OK, fdisk tells us that's not right because of this line:

   Device Boot      Start         End      Blocks   Id  System
/dev/sdc1              63   976768064   488384001   83  Linux
Partition 1 does not start on physical sector boundary.

So do what we did in this posting:
http://linuxforums.org.uk/index.php?topic=10461.msg78060#msg78060
but use Align to MiB

Then check that line  (in red) is NOT there when you run:

Code: [Select]

sudo fdisk -l

if it isn't .. post the output from:

Code: [Select]

sudo blkid /dev/sdc1

again

See above.

Looks OK

Code: [Select]

sudo blkid /dev/sdc1

/dev/sdc1: LABEL="Drive2" UUID="fece8a70-7f38-4ad2-aaf3-49a69a8fb91e" TYPE="ext4"

Looks OK too.

[Mark Greaves (PCNetSpec)]

Code: [Select]

sudo gedit /etc/fstab

find the line that reads:-

UUID=19eb1838-b24c-4e51-8998-f0dcc8b64bbc /media/Drive2 ext4 defaults 0 0

make it read:-

UUID=fece8a70-7f38-4ad2-aaf3-49a69a8fb91e /media/Drive2 ext4 defaults 0 0

Visually proofread that line, specially if you copy/pasted

SAVE the file.

Run:

Code: [Select]

sudo mount -a

[pooky2483]

all done, it didn't report any problems.
However, I did notice an error on my part, check out an earlier post with the UUID's in and look at the line that you got me to change...
it had UUID- and not UUID= which it should have.
It is now correct.

Is the next step a reboot and see if it automounts?

[Mark Greaves (PCNetSpec)]

Yeh, but it will

[pooky2483]

Don't you love it when you’re correct 

It works

[Mark Greaves (PCNetSpec)]

.. anywho, Im off to bed .. catch ya later.

[pooky2483]

Now, there’s permission problems
I cant move a folder to it

[pooky2483]

I'll have a look a previous post to see the 'ch' stuff if its long winded as you want to get off to bed
Cheers for all the help

[pooky2483]

Sorted that too

Code: [Select]

sudo chown -R pooky2483:pooky2483 /media/Drive2

Previous post

[Mark Greaves (PCNetSpec)]

Code: [Select]

sudo chown -R pooky:pooky /media/Drive2

Obviously you may need to change the 2 "pooky" entries in that command to whatever your username is.

if that doesn't work, send the output from:

Code: [Select]

ls -al /media
